Mike and I were reminiscing and topic turned to a half-inflated McDonald's balloon made of a thin foil.
It floated the air current of the McNaughton house shooting electric arcs and shorting-out VCRs.
Some say it survived being caught between the blades of an active ceiling fan and the nails of a unfinished roof.
Anymore info is appreciated.

Who could forget the near fatal static sparks Ronald would deliver. I remember interacting with that balloon vividly. In fact I can even give an exact time period for it. I was experimenting with ways to disarm the foil blimp when he became charged with static electricity after absorbing it from the TV. When you turned off the TV the static got really intense and that is when Ronald would get dangerous. As Ronald was approaching the TV I turned it off and Mike quickly said "Turn it back on!!!". So I did and diffused Ronald using an aluminum baseball bat that had a rubber grip. I wondered what was so important on the TV that Mike wanted it back on; they were about to deliver the verdict in the Rodney King Trial. That would make it April 29, 1992.
Now I believe that Ronald's hay day was nearing his end at this point. I remember Ronald getting trapped against the nails and beaten by fan blades repeatedly and excessively. I am not sure if this was foreshadowing to the Rodney King incident or if it happened after the event. What I do know for certain is that Ronald's foil blimp would give a significantly painful arcing static shock to those who dared remove him from the TV and that he was virtually indestructible. Eventually Ronald's helium faded and he would fly no more. I don't know what happened to him after this point.

I remember Ronald! I also remember various comments about him stealing the souls of electronics whenever he would touch and short them out.
